FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Seattle, Washington - August 21, 2015 - Serellan, LLC, a
small independent video game studio staffed with industry veterans
who have worked on franchises such as Ghost Recon, Halo, Shadows of
Mordor, Mad Max, Killzone, SOCOM, MAG, Need for Speed, SWAT and
more; announced today that their Unreal 4 powered squad based
stealth action shooter will be released on Steam Early Access this
fall.

We are very excited to bring Epsilon to the PC,” said
Christian Allen, CEO and Creative Director at Serellan,
”Epsilon focuses on pre-planning, tactics, and gadgets over
linear cinematic shoot-em up gameplay.”

Epsilon has been in development for just under a year, but the
games art style has grown and evolved since the very beginning of
Serellan. “The art team worked together to build a
visually vibrant experience for Epsilon,” said Deane McGahan,
Serellan’s Lead Artist, “I am happy that we were able
to bring that style to Epsilon. We didn’t want to work
on yet another green and brown shooter.”

In addition to the core gameplay team, Serellan has brought in
some heavy guns from other areas.

Craig Gilmore, an artist with credits from Marvel, DC Comics,
Ubisoft, The Walking Dead, Revolution, and more (
http://www.craiggilmore.net/ ) will be providing
an accompanying graphic novel for the game, which will also serve
as the in game cinematics, delving into a storyline heavily
inspired by themes in the ongoing crisis in Eastern Europe and the
growing sense of Oligarchy in America in connection with groups
like the Bilderberg’s. A unique cast of diverse team
members, which in a first for a contemporary shooter, contains no
Americans, will drive the story forward.

Music will be another strong focus, with Rich Douglas (
http://www.richdouglas.net/ ) scoring an
ethnically inspired soundtrack for a unique musical feel.
Rich has worked on titles such as
Insurgency and
Shadowgate, and brings a unique flavor to the audio in the
game.

Lastly, Serellan announced a partnership with Razer for their
full line of professional gaming hardware, with integration such as
the Chroma colors planned.

Previously, Serellan has announced that all Kickstarter backers
of their last title,
TAKEDOWN: Red Sabre will also be receiving
Epsilon for free. Unlike past projects, Serellan is
self-publishing
Epsilon as a completely independent studio. The price
point for Epsilon has yet to be announced, but Christian states,
“It will be based on the amount of content launched with the
Early Access version, and then adjusted as we work with the
community to add more features, content, and gameplay based on
their feedback.”

Serellan, which is a disabled veteran owned company, is working
with several veteran groups to donate portions of the proceeds from
the game to benefit veterans and active-duty military members.

Serellan plans to show initial demos at PAX Prime at the end of
August at the Razer booth.

Serellan LLC is a small independent game studio founded by USMC
veteran Christian Allen, former Creative Director and Designer of
several high profile AAA games by Ubisoft, Bungie, and WB
Games. Serellan was founded in 2012 in Seattle, WA.
